Description
Drosolacerta capensis, also known as the sundews lizard, is a small animal native to forests and marshlands in mediterranean climates. The creature earned its name for its tail's striking similarity to the leaves of the carnivorous plant Drosera capensis. The small tentacles sprouting from its tail are covered in a thin layer of sweet-smelling sticky saliva, strong enough to trap unsuspecting insects looking for a snack. You will often find them sunbathing with their tails hanging down, this to prevent the drops from sticking to moss and other non-foods. When prey has been caught, the sundews lizard uses its long tongue to grab the insect and pull it into its mouth, refreshing the saliva on its tail in the process. They are gifted climbers and swift runners, reaching up to 20 km/h while sprinting. When faced with a threat they can no longer escape from, they can cast off their tails. However, it takes several months for these to grow back, which forces the animal to hunt, leaving it at risk for exhaustion compared to its usual feeding habits.

A dragon/lizard-ish creature inspired by my favourite plant: Drosera capensis. The plant is very easy to care for and will take care of your fruit fly problem while also looking pretty and unique. They're cheap to boot.

Photoshop, time could be anywhere between 4 and 6 hours.
